Perspective:Christianity and same-sex marriage

• "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and femal He created them"(Genesis 1:27)

When God created a patner for Adam, he created Eve-not another Adam. If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, he would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means.
Also, when Jesus was asked questions about marriage, he went straight back to the defining passage in Genesis. And he said marriage is between male and female, and it is meant be life long.

• "---men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due"(Romans 1:26-27)

This indicates that homosexual passions and acts are unnatural and shameful.
The Church exists to save people, not to bless the means of their damnation. No marriage can be sanctioned by the Church if the basis of the marriage involves acts that put the couple outside of eternal salvation. Whatever our society may legislate, the law of God is clear- that a marriage is not a godly marriage if it is a same sex union.
